(Jimmy Cliff)
Da-da-dai-dai, da-da-dai, da-da-dai ....
Suffering in the land
It is plain to see we`re in a terrible situation
Sufferin` in the land
Nearly half of the world on the verge of starvation
Sufferin` in the land
And the children are crying for more education
Sufferin` in the land
Let`s singin`
Da-da-dai-dai ....
Suffering in the land
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer
Sufferin` in the land
Everything`s gettin` higher and the time gettin` tougher
Sufferin` in the land
They`re making guns and bombs to set the world on fire
Sufferin` in the land
I`m singin`
Da-da-dai-dai ....
Suffering in the land, Lord
Da-da-dai-dai ....
Suffering in the land
from `Wonderful World, Beautiful People` (1970)
